There is a inconsistency and lack of documentation around the deferred start configuration flag. The queue deferred start only makes sense if the driver has a way to start the queue later via ethdev ops. Therefore move the check into the ethdev queue configuration handling. Fix the driver documentation where the support of deferred start does not match what the driver implements.
